    I am a physcopathic serial fish killer. My IQ is somewhere above room temperature. I have a cousin named Art. I'm chronic, right sided. And I ride around on a Trike. Anything else you hear are baseless rumors.

I just liked this thread so here's my Jon (um...don't take that the wrong way. *lol* His name is Jonathan but who wants to say all that all the time?)

CH is Episodic/left side
He's got an above-average IQ (whatever that means, these tests are quite relative...)
Introspective/navel gazer
Musician/songwriter/singer
Interested in any & all things to do with biology; psychology; & grunge/hardcore/goth/punk.
Dyslexic
Can't juggle
10+ on nipple sensitivity (just because I *lol*'ed until I almost peed...
Cluster Chuck toes
Perfect butt

Me: I'm just his supporter & have exactly all these things in common except don't have CH. So...personally...I think it's just a coincidence with no real scientific value. Smiley Cheers though.

This is an interesting concept. so I'll put in my 2 cents worth.

I'm 44 yrs old
male
electronics engineer/ technician/president/CEO of a company that I started 10 years age (14 employees)
chronic CH
left side CH
play guitar ( not very good, haven't picked it up in a year or so)
in the middle of my first novel ( writing not reading)
Have been tested several times throughout my life with an IQ around 140 (working on lowering that with the help of Jack Daniels)
and my hobies are astrophysics and statistical analysis ( God, what a geek)
Oh yeah.... and I want world peace

I hope this helps your study.

PS. none of my physical attributes are fit for publication

Me I'm a dumbass, but I can do anything I set my mind to.
Except get rid of CH.
all the best

PS: I think we are all very special and talented in our own way, more so than, "normal" people. We have our own perspective on pain and life that only CH can give you. Huh

well here goes. when i was 12 years old my i.q was tested at 137. when i was in high school i went to trade school to be a machinist. i carried an a- average in trigonometry and related math. i had a barely passing grade in english. thank god for spell check. they found cigarettes in my car and kicked  me out. they put me back in regular school with mediocre classes and i got board and dropped out. i immediately went to work at an automotive machine shop. after a year of working there i could do anything in the shop except grind cranks. i became obsessed  with serial numbers and got really good at identifying engine parts and makes.   then owner died and i went to work for a flooring company. i went out on the road doing that for ten or so years got bored with that and then worked a place called as a welder at a place called Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or Register making haunted house props. got laid off from there and went to truckdriving school. i've been doing that for about 2 years and now i'm currently studying to become a freight agent. seeing the country keeps me interested. i'm hell bent on not having a boss.  i don't play golf and i don't play company politics and it has cost me a few jobs along the way.  

i have been an episodic since i was 12. i'm 32 years old. my cycles last a couple months and i have 3 or 4 years between cycles. currently pain free. my cluster side is right and i am right handed.

personality i'm somewhat of an introvert. i spend weeks by myself and i'm content with that. i love helping people but i'm not a sucker. i listen to old twangy country, classic rock, and big band swing. i've been known to get teary eyed on john denver or ray price songs. i absolutely hate new country music. i wear black t shirts, blue jeans and black boots. not much into fads. i am a geyser of useless and obsolete mechanical information.  

well thats the low down on me. just a basic man. no frills. not much education but allot of tough experience, allot of hard knocks, and allot of skinned up knuckles.

Well everyone who knows me, tells that I am very modest and I really hate to "talk big" but for this topic:

I've played piano and both classic and electric guitar for ~5 years but I am horrible @ singing or painting Wink I am good at writing (essays etc. if you can consider it as art).

About IQ... In my opinion whole IQ thing is a piece of sh*t. I mean, it doesn't mean anything. However, it's interesting that so many CH sufferers have relatively high IQ. First of all there are few popular deviations (15, 16, 24) and that's very important. Hehe, there is a Polish pop star who likes to copy Britney, generally she seems to be totally dumb and she had 156 IQ in Mensa test... Smiley

Few years ago, when I was 14 or 15 I did a test for 17+ I did a test and had all answers right, which meant 152 or 156 but I don't know what deviation it was. Also I've talked to a psychologist (dyslexia tests) who said I got at least 140. Now I did short online test, with deviation 15:

I am quite talented @ learning, in primary and secondary school I skept a lot of lessons and didn't learn a lot but I had the best marks in the whole school Wink Unfortunately I got many problems with school since my health problems (CH but not only) started:(
To be honest I am a bit like a renaissance man. Unfortunately, for me it's like a curse... I would rather like to be awesome at one field than good/very good at many. In six months I have Polish equivalent of A-Levels (it's so-called in England, dunno about the States) and I really don't know what subjects I should pick. I've always been very good at maths but overy last two years, due skipping many lessons, I've got many problems. On the other hand I really like writing but journalism isn't very perspective (engineering studies are the most perspective). In the end I think I will have a gap year, prepare myself at chemistry, biology and physics and then study medicine :p

Oh, I made an offtopic and I did something I don't really like (and after posting I will regret it) but at least it is comprehensive :p

Starflow Griner, Please explain to me how knowing if we are more or less creative than the average person helps anything in dealing with this condition.  I'd really like to know where you intended to go with this.   Seriously.


I don't know how I missed this entire thread until today...Potter, as always you crack me up.   As did you Kirk.   Best laughs I've had in a long long time, and maybe the answers you received Starflower IS the point....to make everyone laugh.    Grin

Hmm in the end I wasn't diagnosed with dyslexia but 'only' dysgraphia Sad Yeah, my handwriting is really horrible, especially after writing for 10-15 minutes constantly, or when I am under some stress. It's really embarrassing, I can do my homeworks @ PC (such as essAys) but when it comes to write an exam or something...

Don't think it is related to science/creativity, it's only your brain trying to kill ya Wink I would be more interested to know if it has any connection to mood disorders, i.e periods of depression, anxiety and so forth.

I grew up in a mahogany tree on the south side of Kuala Lumpur. My parents were macaques but we moved around a lot. They said it was migrating but I heard migraine and things went bad from there. As a child I excelled at feces-throwing and exposing my rump to females, who invariably screamed and leapt for the nearest palm frond. As I got older I develped an inordinate fondness for red licorice, which unfortunately was not popular with tourists in those years. By the time we moved to Sandusky, Ohio it was raining. I still get a twinge in my large right toe whenever Don Ho sings "Tiny Bubbles", and I'm scared of Rosecrucians named Murray. I don't remember anything prior to that Thursday in March.

I'm right handed and have CH's only on the right side.  I'm not very artistic, but have a bachelors degree in math, and a doctorate in educational psychology.

PFDAN and short cycles to all.
